Did you install these software on the PC that works as well? The one
where you changed your timeout? Was there any change on the network?
Firewall configuration changes?

Of the software installed, only samba seems to have any relevance.


Thanks

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check

I'm still curious about the results of the executing this command
on the failing clients (not on the server!):

 $ sudo -u backup mkdir -p /var/log/amanda

Do you get an error (which?), or does it succeed (no output)?

With this all is OK and amndad run with this log file in /var/log/amanda/amandad.20060124131203.debug:
